Accepting the Flow, Marked by the Name

ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਭਾਣਾ ਮੰਨਹਿ ਸੇ ਜਨ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ ॥
har kaa bhaanaa maneh say jan parvaan.
Those humble beings who accept the Will of the Lord, are approved and accepted.
ਗੁਰ ਕੈ ਸਬਦਿ ਨਾਮ ਨੀਸਾਣੁ ॥੩॥
gur kai sabad naam neesaan. ||3||
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they bear the insignia of the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Those humble ones who accept the flow of existence that comes from the One are welcomed and accepted.

Through the Guru's Word, they carry the mark of the Naam, like a badge only the heart can see.

Accepting life’s flow marks you quietly as belonging.
The deeper layer

Accept the flow of existence, and you are welcomed and marked with the Naam.

Har kaa bhaanaa maneh say jan parvaan: those who accept the One's bhaanaa, the flow of existence, are parvaan, accepted. Gur kai sabad naam neesaan: through the Guru's Word, they wear the neesaan, the badge, of the Naam. Acceptance here is a willing heart moving with life.

A Question to Sit With

What is something you have learned to accept that once felt hard?
